It takes a massive amount of ignorance to run one's mouth in this manner. Do you seriously not have first or second hand experience with what it's like to be in the cross-hairs of local government? It's f-ing terrible. And it's not Karen and her ilk that they go after. It's the guy who's running a side business out of his garage (aka the "mixed use" HN fawns over). It's the guy who's neighbors don't like the look of his project sailboat. It's the elderly couple that can't afford the 20k price tag to get off of septic and onto the sewer. Getting government out of the business of mediating these sorts of petty matters doesn't necessarily result in more freedom as they already had it but it results in a hell of a lot less stress for the people who were getting abused for exercising it.

While dismantling the state at higher levels can cause some bad stuff (19th century robber barons selling people heorin over the counter, industry dumping hazmat, stuff like that) I find it very, very hard to argue against "more than the bare minimum to keep things running" at the local level.

Edit: And I'm not a libertarian. I think there's a laundry list of things government should be involved in providing and facilitating that no true libertarian would agree with. I however, don't think the government should be meddling in the bulk of the "enforcing standards of personal behavior and commerce" stuff that a lot of people here want.
